Live in the present moment
To a large degree,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to
live in the present moment.Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year,and what may
or may not happen tomorrow,the present moment is where you are --always it is.
Without question,many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives
worrying about a variety of things --all at once.We allow past problems and future concerns
to dominate our present moments,so much so that we end up anxious,frustrated,depressed,
and hopeless.
On the flip side,we also postpone our gratification,our stated priorities,and our
happiness,often convincing ourselves that "someday" will be better than today.
Unfortunately,the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only
repeat themselves so that "someday " never actually arrives.
John Lennon once said,"Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans.
When we're busy making "other plans",our children are busy growing up,the people we
love are moving away and dying,our bodies are getting out of shape,and our dreams are
slipping away.In short,we miss out on life.
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal5 for some later date.It isn't.
In fact,no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow.Now is the only
time we have,and the only time that we have any control over.When our attention is in
the present moment,we push fear from our minds.Fear is the concern over events that
might happen in the future--we won' t have enough money,our children will get into
trouble,we will get old and die,whatever.
To combat fear,the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present.
Mark Twain said,"I have been through some terrible things in my life,some of which
actually happened.I don't think I can say it any better.Keeping your attention on the
here and now.Your efforts will pay great dividends."
